Scratch Level 4 - Create Your Own Game

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/192119690/ I have met plenty of different difficulties while coding this game.  I found that the ball always appear in different position and bounce shifty in the game.  Also I find that when the ball touching the blocks, the blocks disappear and the ball go through them like no obstacle in front of it.  I asked Mr. Chen about these questions.  He taught me there is a tool in vector mode of customes option to let ball function normally; and he taught me to place a "wait 0.05 second" before the blocks hide when touching the ball.  I used many different versions of BreakOut on Scratch.  Those include the Atari version.  I take the idea of Atari icon appear when the game start.  I searched the image of GAME OVER online and erased the edges of the image. Overall, this is the project that I combined the different projects' elements in. I would try to add the setting of winning the game and...

Scratch Level 2 - Racing Game

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/188429538/ Instruction: Use the arrow keys to control the white car and round two circles to complete the game <- and -> are controlling direction /\ and \/ are controlling the speed of car (don't need to hold the bottom to keep the speed) Opinions: I set the background to be green grass and I followed the tutorial which makes the car to spin when going out of the range of the road. Difficulty: I am not practical to Scratch, so I have to spend more time on practising and copying some codes from the tutorial video. (I can't answer this question detailed enough because it's long time ago since I made this game and I forgot to post this to Blogger.) Changes: I basically changed the color and some details from the tutorial. (I can't remember much about it) There's an interesting bug. If I keep increasing speed and let the car running at the edge, I can still win the game spending less time.

project proposal

1.      I have an idea of making a game that is modified from original game "Break Out " from Atari.  2.      I remembered when I was less than five years old, I have played a computer game using my father's laptop. I played the one that Mario and  Luigi put up a water pipe and reflect one ball from top to break blocks from ceiling. the broken block would disappear and some of them drop special powered fruits. I tried to find that game, but I still can't find the original, so I use Atari's to be the inspiration because I* don't know the actual game name.  3.    I am planning to make player controlled board reflect to ball, set some blocks and randomly choose a few blocks to contain specific power., set a few balls in order to give players more chance to win, and decide how to make player lose.  4. class 1:  background,  class 2: player's board class 3: how to win and lose, blocks class 4: speci...

Kodu Pac-Man

game play CPU How close is your game to the original? What is different? What is the same? i think my version of Pac-man at least 75% close to the original game For the power pill, i change it to be speeding up and gaining more scores than killing robots. Most parts are the same. map, scoring, idea of this game.  What extra or creative details did you change or add to your version of the game? Why did you create these changes? Kodu game lab is a 3D world, so i make a few ladders that player can have more entertainment and more ways to escape from robot.  What difficulties did you have? How did you fix this? I settled the winning score to 375. Each apple has 5 points, and power pill has 20 points.  so... I think the difficulty is medium.  What feedback did your beta testers have for you and how did you implement their suggestions Umm.. Mr Chen did not give me suggestion as long as I successfully complete the speeding system from powe...

Video Games: The Movie

Video Games: The Movie 1. What are some of the reasons video games were successful? What makes a game popular?     Video games can be successful is because they are telling stories, they fit to everyone in the world, and they let people experience differently from modern life within gaming. They are popular because people are able to change how plots go, and how the ending of stories should look like. In novels, poems, movies, and videos the people are audiences, games provide the opportunity to let them be the editor of this form of literature.  2. What are some of the reasons why the video game industry crashed in the 1980s?     The industries at that decade discovered that video game this area can earn much more money than every other areas after seeing the success of Atari. Therefore more and more companies rushing to complete coding games, this decreased the quality of game, and this let them be clear that the thought of consumers at that ti...
